The following representatives stated they were satisfied with their piece of the Controller’s Recommended Budget: Representative Department or Affiliated Entity Natrenah Blackstock Veteran Affairs Kate Long/Marion Owen Tri-County Aging Consortium Steve Lance Medical Care Facility Sara Lurie Community Mental Health 2. Health Services Millage Robin Reynolds, Ingham Health Plan Corporation Director, addressed the committee regarding the controller’s recommended budget for IHPC, as it was $500,000 less than what IHPC had recommended to the Controller. She further stated that the reason for the funding request was to cover the individuals that are not eligible for Medicaid and have not enrolled in a health plan on the marketplace. Chairperson Tennis asked how many people that would cover. Ms. Reynolds stated that would be 442 members. She further stated there was bridge coverage, and the IHPC covered them currently but they did not get reimbursed.

Commissioner Anthony asked if they could do that within the confines of the existing millage. Teri Morton, Deputy Controller, stated that with the current projected revenue stream for 2018 and the amount they were planning for Community Mental Health, they would have to take $270,000 from the fund balance in order to fund both of those requests in full. She further stated that there was a fund balance of $600,000 in the health millage fund, those two amounts would not be sustainable over the long term but could be managed. Commissioner Nolan arrived at 6:12p.m. Chairperson Tennis stated this would not be a general fund issue or a Z-List issue, as it would solely be allowing additional health millage funds to be used for this purpose. He further stated that he did not believe they were going to spend all of that, as it would just be a cap. Ms. Reynolds stated that the funds were drawn down by invoice, so once someone submitted a claim, they sent the claim on to the county for millage eligible folks. Jared Cypher, Deputy Controller, stated the claims were sent for reimbursement with the exception of dental claims. Ms. Reynolds stated that was correct. Chairperson Tennis asked Ms. Reynolds for more information on the bridge program. Ms. Reynolds stated that the bridge program was very much like the millage, but people in it were over 138% of the poverty limit and so they were not eligible for Healthy Michigan or Medicaid, but were eligible for the marketplace. She further stated that they could do an application for the marketplace, but many had done that and found that it was not affordable as the out of pocket costs were exceptional. Ms. Reynolds stated they did not sign up because their deductible was $6,000 to start, so they did not pay for it because they could not afford it, so they don’t sign up because their deductible is 6k to start so they don’t pay for it. She further stated that these were the same people they had always served. Chairperson Tennis asked if there was a hard income cap. Ms. Reynolds stated the cap was $28,000 for both. Chairperson Tennis asked what 200% of the poverty level was. Ms. Reynolds stated that was $27,000. Mr. Cypher stated that was for a single person.

Page 6: INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERSbc.ingham.org/Portals/BC/Human Services/17Sept18HS.pdf · vice-chairperson deb nolan ... randy maiville robin case naeyaert ingham county board

Ms. Reynolds stated the poverty level was $11,000 for a single person, but they had always gone up to 250% of the poverty level, or about 240% now, because they put $28,000 in the millage not the percentage. Commissioner Nolan stated that she was on the IHPC board, and she wanted to provide information for those people who have not been part of the previous discussion about covering the bridge employees. She further stated that the discussion among commissioners had been to just cover the specific people that meet the millage language. Commissioner Nolan stated that the people who were covered on bridge by IHPC had other options but that did not mean they could afford them. She further stated that she felt empathy for them but it did not mean they precisely met the millage criteria either. Commissioner Nolan stated that they had taken a pretty hard line in this committee in regards to not covering bridge applicants. Commissioner Banas arrived at 6:16 p.m. Commissioner Nolan asked Mr. Cypher if she had missed anything in her explanation of the bridge applicant issue. Mr. Cypher stated Commissioner Nolan had not missed anything that he knew of. Chairperson Tennis asked what other part of the millage criteria these people did not meet. Mr. Cypher stated that the way the millage language read in order to be eligible for coverage, they were not eligible for Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, their income was under $28,000 and they did not have medical insurance. He further stated that the interpretation of that had always been if they were a bridge coverage person, they had the option of taking medical insurance therefore they were not covered under the millage because they had the option to seek insurance elsewhere. Chairperson Tennis asked if everyone had the option to seek other insurance. Ms. Reynolds stated that seeking other insurance was always an option. She further stated that anyone could go out and buy a Blue Cross plan, but it was not affordable for most people. Ms. Reynolds stated that she wished the marketplace was affordable but it was not for a certain group. She further stated there were really good subsidies on the income that was 139% of the poverty level, but the subsidies diminished as their income went up. Mr. Cypher stated that a key distinction was that under the Affordable Care Act insurance was mandated therefore you are breaking the law if you are not insured, and was the county going to cover people if they were breaking the law.

Commissioner Naeyaert stated that she agreed with Commissioner Nolan that they had taken a hard stand, and would not favor this given the state of the budget this year. She further stated that some of them had talked about changing the millage language to include other things but for now she did not think they could do it. Commissioner Nolan stated that she knew Ms. Reynolds had made this part of the budget plan for 2018, including $300,000 from the county if they covered bridge applicants. Ms. Reynolds stated that was an additional $500,000. Commissioner Nolan stated there was a request for an additional $500,000 because there is a deficit that has been running at IHP that had been coming from spending down the $10 million. She further stated this was a way to patch up that hole. Commissioner Nolan stated that she had asked Chairperson Tennis to include this as an agenda discussion mainly for the purposes of people who have not sat on this committee and engaged in why we do not cover bridge people, which has already been discussed in this committee at length. She further stated that she felt strongly that they were doing the right thing by covering who they cover and not adding additional people. Commissioner Nolan related a personal story about her sister regarding this issue, and stated that she had the deepest sympathy for her sister and people who were much poorer than her, because it was terrible out there. Ms. Reynolds stated that the marketplace would only be open for a month this year therefore people would not be able to sign up once enrollment was closed. Commissioner Sebolt stated that Mr. Cypher had said that people were technically breaking the law by not having health insurance, but if they were covered under this plan, then they would not be breaking the law. Mr. Cypher stated that this was a benefit but was not insurance. Chairperson Tennis stated that this plan did not count as insurance. Ms. Reynolds stated that these people did have to pay the penalty for not having insurance, even if they were currently covered under the plan. Discussion. Chairperson Tennis thanked Ms. Reynolds. Ms. Reynolds thanked the committee and stated that if nothing else she would like to see an agreement from them that the millage language did not preclude covering the bridge applicants. She further stated that they could pay what they wanted but the language was clear because they wrote it that way originally.

3. Final Ranking Chairperson Tennis provided an overview of the next steps of the budget process. Discussion. MOVED BY COMM. NOLAN, SUPPORTED BY COMM. NAEYAERT, TO APPROVE THE CONTROLLER’S RECOMMENDED BUDGET. Chairperson Tennis stated that before the Controller’s recommended budget was adopted, the committee could add items to the Z-List. Chairperson Tennis stated that he had noticed significant cuts to many programs. Discussion. Commissioner Banas stated that she used to work for the Capital Area United Way 2-1-1 program but no longer did. Commissioner Anthony stated that one of the community agencies, the Capital Area College Access Network, was a kind of grantee for her day job. Chairperson Tennis asked if the YMCA received any money from Ingham County. Mr. Cypher stated they did this year. Chairperson Tennis stated that he was a contract agent for the state alliance of YMCAs of which the local YMCA is a member. Commissioner Naeyaert stated that extension helped in the rural areas, and she had not heard anything from them regarding the cuts. She further stated that she did not think she was alone in not hearing from them, and she did not think the cut decimated them. Mr. Cypher stated that the cut did not decimate them. He further stated the cut was a half time clerk position which was about $30,000, and the remainder of the cut was a horticulture position of which Ingham County paid 80% of the total cost, but MSU had agreed to fund an extra $50,000 for that position. Commissioner Naeyaert asked if the calls that were made from Ingham County to 2-1-1 were sent to Ingham County services. She further asked if those calls were tracked in any way. Ms. Kmetz stated the letter she had submitted detailed the Ingham County services that 2-1-1 connected residents with. She further stated that another item to note was the number of times various Ingham County departments make mention of 2-1-1 in their promotional materials, whether it was the quit tobacco resources or emergency preparedness resources.

Ms. Kmetz stated that they do track where the individuals were referred to, and on the back end 10% of the callers were contacted to see if they received their services and if they were satisfied with the services. Commissioner Naeyaert stated that she wanted to remind the committee that even the legislators relied on 2-1-1 when constituents needed help, so in her opinion the 2-1-1 service should be on the Z-List. MOVED BY COMM. NAEYAERT, SUPPORTED BY COMM. NOLAN, TO ADD $45,750 TO THE Z-LIST FOR THE PURPOSE OF FUNDING THE 2-1-1 PROGRAM THROUGH CAPITAL AREA UNITED WAY. THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Absent: Commissioner McGrain THE MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONTROLLER’S RECOMMENDED BUDGET WITH THE ADDITION OF $45,750 FOR THE 2-1-1 PROGRAM THROUGH CAPITAL AREA UNITED WAY TO THE Z-LIST, CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Absent: Commissioner McGrain Discussion. Announcements None. Public Comment Sara Lurie, Community Mental Health Authority, stated that she wanted to recognize that the commissioners had to make lots of difficult decisions with limited funds. She further stated that on behalf of the organization she wanted to thank the commissioners for their continued support. Ms. Lurie stated that their support was vitally important and allowed them to continue to serve Ingham County residents and maintain the services that they otherwise might not be able to. Discussion. Ms. Lurie stated that the addition would add about 40,000 square feet to the front of the building. She further stated that the reasons for the expansion and the timing of it was because the building was paid off, they had overgrown that space a number of years ago, and they currently leased an enormous amount of space in the area, with some of the main programs and services like their Human Resources Department were off-site currently. Ms. Lurie stated that creating more space in the main facility allowed them to bring people back into the building and have more efficiency than they had currently, and built in space for growth

if needed. She further stated that if for some reason they had to consolidate, they would be able to bring more things back into the building which would reduce costs in the long run. Commissioner Nolan thanked Ms. Lurie for the update. Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 6:41 p.m.

DATE: August 31, 2017

SUBJECT: Resolution to Authorize a Consolidated Collaborative, Services, and Referral Agreement with CMH-CEI

For the meeting agenda of September 18, 2017 & September 20, 2017

BACKGROUND Ingham County Health Department (ICHD) maintains multiple agreements with Community Mental Health Authority of Clinton, Eaton and Ingham Counties (CMHA-CEI): A Collaborative Agreement for the co-location of Birch Community Health Center at CMHA-CEI’s Jolly Road service site; A Services Agreement for 4.0 FTE Mental Health Therapists and 0.5 FTE Behavioral Health Supervisor; and a Referral Agreement for behavioral health and substance abuse services referral and care coordination. It is the desire of ICHD and CMHA-CEI to establish a single agreement to consolidate the terms and replace the existing agreements. It is also the desire of ICHD and CMHA-CEI to add two (2.0) additional FTE of Mental Health Therapist and 0.25 additional FTE Behavioral Health Supervisor services through the new agreement, contingent upon the implementation of the Sparrow-Volunteers of America homeless healthcare clinic, and a pending award of 2017 Access Increases in Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (AIMS) Supplemental funding opportunity, from the Health Resources and Services Administration. The importance of taking this action is to bring efficiency and reduce redundancy by consolidating multiple parallel agreements into a single agreement and to increase revenue through billable behavioral health services through the addition of 2.0 FTE of Mental Health Therapists. ALTERNATIVES There are no alternatives to consider. FINANCIAL IMPACT Consolidating the terms of the existing agreements will not incur any additional costs, however the addition of two (2.0) FTE of Mental Health Therapists at the cost of $74,566 each, and an additional 0.25 FTE supervisor, at the cost of $29,577, will increase the total cost of the new agreement to $613,981. Each Mental Health Therapist position and increase of Behavioral Health Supervisor time will be added contingent upon the implementation of the Sparrow Medical Group-Volunteers of America homeless health care clinic and the receipt of 2017 AIMS grant fund award, which is pending with the Health Services and Resources Administration. The costs for the additional Behavioral Health Therapists are budgeted expenses in the respective contingencies, and the Behavioral Health Supervisor FTE increase is a budgeted expense in the approved County FY 2018 Budget. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS The Ingham Community Health Center Board of Directors supports the establishment of a single agreement to consolidate and replace the existing agreements with the addition of two (2.0) additional FTE of Mental Health Therapists and 0.25 additional FTE Behavioral Health Supervisor services through the new agreement.

ICHD has been notified of an award of new Part D funding for its Community Health Centers based Infectious Disease Program. As part of the funded proposal, a new position, Customer Support Specialist –Ryan White (ICEA PRO Level 5) was created to replace the services that were provided via contract with LAAN.

The Customer Support Specialist – Ryan White position that will be created is at a cost factored at ICEA PRO Level 5 ($43,525.30 to $52,250.85) and the position change of the Nurse Case Manager –CHC (ICEA PHN Level 3) at $56,296.29 to $67,582.52 to the Senior Nurse Program Manager (ICEA PHN Level 4) at $58,939.57-$70,745.47.
